All you really need to know about Miami's Azucar Ice Cream Company is what's in their version of cafe con leche: vanilla ice cream, three shots (!) of espresso, and hot fudge.
Fortunately, the rest is pretty fun, too, including a patented guava and cream cheese flavor. Suzy Batlle founded the artisanal ice cream and sorbet boutique in 2011 in the heart of Little Havana, creating creamy, cold confections "just like abuela used to make."
"I call it homemade Cuban ice cream because I'm Cuban and I make it," Batlle laughs. But the real secret goes way beyond, from the tile flooring, to the Spanish-language t-shirts, to the giant 29-foot ice cream cone that sits outside the store and, most importantly, the ingredients.
Take a peek into Miami's cutest ice cream parlor above to find out how Batlle got stuck on dessert, the unusual path she took to get schooled in ice cream, and what she would put in a flavor called "Fidel."

Growing up in West Philadelphia, Betty Leacraft was drawn to the look and feel of fabric and its many creative uses.
"I've been sewing since I was a child," said Leacraft. "My maternal grandmother put the first needle and thread in my hand."
At Overbrook High School and Cheyney University, Leacraft developed a keen interest in African culture. Over the years, she combined those passions to create bold and colorful artwork as a fabric mixed-media artist.
Later this month, Leacraft will visit South Africa, where one of her works will be part of an exhibit of art quilts in tribute to the late President Nelson Mandela.

Bio: "Reunite you heart and your mind, you won't be surprised what you'll find" Standing Hawthorn singer Paul Schulte's evasive and passionate lyrical style will never let the listener in on the exact intent of this line or how it connects to the bigger picture in "When its Time" , the lush anthem on ...See Full Bio
"Here's the way things used to work: You pick up your copy of the Los Angeles Times, you read a well-written profile of a local rock quartet and you make a note to see if the local record store (I favored Fingerprints in Long Beach or Noise Noise Noise in Costa Mesa in those days) had the album in stock. On your weekly visit to said store, on which you invariably spent more on music than you had budgeted, you get the clerk's opinion, and maybe twist his arm into playing you the store copy. You depart a bit poorer but a bit richer, if you know what I mean. So it is with some amount of glee that I report Standing Hawthorn has returned — not on a nostalgia trip, but with a new album, "Living Without Lies," that sounds as timeless as much of the great radio rock of their first go-round. Schulte still has the vocal command of a world-class frontman, and Karn (who also has fronted the band Deccatree) remains a guitarist who can change the climate. "Living Without Lies" thinks bi"

Several shorter "user friendly" tees installed for Ams to avoid water
Alternate pin positions on most of the holes
2 holes redesigned to make course flow better
by chucker on Aug 13, 2010 at 8:46pm
This course is not for the hydrophobic. Water is very much in play on almost every hole. Can be difficult to navigate. Hole two requires some back tracking to get to the tee. Hole ten tee is actually outside the fence across the driveway. Walgreens on the west side of 75 sells discs as you will probably need to re-up after playing this puppy.

'GET AWAY FROM IT ALL' and come relax and enjoy the 'ISLAND LIFE' in our waterfront home on Little Gasparilla Island. Seven miles of secluded white sand beaches on an Island with no roads, only sand paths to explore. Access is by boat only.
Our cottage is situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway - the third house in from either direction. We are on the narrow part of the Island, so the water is just steps away in either direction. Perfect for the beach lover, boater or fisherman - something for everyone in your family.
A private dock just outside your door provides convenient access to your own boat or water taxi. There are lanais on three sides of the home for relaxing and enjoying the spectacular views.
Keywords: Beach Cottage
I find nothing more relaxing than being near the water, and my home and vacation cottages are all just steps away. Just retired after 31 years in education, I am looking forward to more time in 'Paradise'!
The Owner purchased this cottage in 2004
About ten years ago we heard of a 'Little Island' that was accessible by boat. After a little research we found it, made a trip down from NJ and purchased our first cottage the next day. In 2004 we found this cottage and now have two. We have loved every minute we spend on the Island and enjoy sharing our vacation paradise with others. Many repeat guests are creating family traditions at 'Miss Patti's' cottage.
We stayed 5 nights, had a great relaxing vacation. Loved the options of having our boat 20 Ft. away on the seawall dock, and having beautiful gulf beach and clean gulf water 250 yds. away. Rented a golf cart and explored the entire island to Don Pedro State Park. Loved the fact that it was very peaceful and relaxing without the hustle and bustle of big crowds. Cruised to Johnnie Leverocks for a great lunch, and to Cabbage Key for another day trip in the boat. Loved just hanging out on the sandbars around the local islands! We will be back next year!
We have been coming to LGI for eight years, and "Paradise Too" has been our favorite place to stay by far! We loved being on the canal, and the walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. You can unload right from the water taxi, which saves a number of trips in a golf cart or having to haul your things. The house has everything you need and more! After staying at so many houses on the island over the years, this house was the most equipped. My 14 year old son and his friend loved fishing from the dock and beach, and used the fish cleaning station. They caught many types of fish over the week from the canal, the bay, and the beach. Patti's neighbor Mike was super friendly and an avid fisherman like the boys. Patti is terrific to work with and always responded quickly to questions I had regarding the house. She is also the BEST owner I have worked with in all of my years on the island. We will definitely be back!
Patti's place and the island were wonderful! This was a great vacation for our family. We brought our jet skis and this is the perfect location. The house is located in a protected canal and within just a few minutes we could be around the island to the beach side on the jet skis. If you have a boat, spending time on the sandbar between the islands is a must. Water was warm and wildlife abundant. The walk to the beach was not far, passing only 2 houses to get there. It was fun to walk the island but renting a golf cart for a couple of days would have been fun too and something to do next time. Because you can only access the island by boat, it feels very safe and keeps the crowd to a minimum. We quickly fell into beach mode, spending the morning hours at the beach, eating our main meal and napping mid-day, and out in the ocean every evening. The house functioned well, it was very clean and well kept, and the new flooring was nice. I especially enjoyed the large screened in patio area. We cooked meals such as hamburgers, steaks, seafood, spaghetti, and pork with fresh vegetables and potatoes and the kitchen did have everything we needed. Recommend packing light as there is a washer/dryer and keeping food simple. We would definitely do this again and would love to come back next summer. It was a fabulous family adventure!
If you have a boat, this home is ideally situated on a canal for easy access to the gulf and it's tributaries. The private dock was nice and just steps away to the home. The home itsel is well-maintained, charming and full of character. The booking process was quick and hassle-free. My family loves this little island and this is the home we will be back to visit! Highly recommended. 5 stars!
The island was quiet and relaxing. Loved walking the beach searching for shark teeth, found a number of them. The home was very nice, had everything we needed. Patti was very nice to work with and a neighbor, Mike was a wonderful source of information and helpful in making you feel welcomed. Pirate water taxi worked out well, dropping us off at the front of the house on the dock. Great as a quiet retreat, or, if a person wanted to schedule other activities, there are things to do. Looking forward to visiting again.
My sister and I took a week to get away from it all and that we did at this very charming house with a great wrap around screened porch looking out over the canal, palm trees and beautiful flowers. The owner Patti was totally available to answer any question, the kitchen had everything we needed, including olive oil and balsamic vinegar! We just became total beach bums and loved every minute, just relaxing on the beach which was a three minute walk from the house. One day we went into Placida and had a great time at the Fishery restaurant. Then we spent hours at the nearby Margaret Albritton gallery, where we bought some of the adorable nautical placemats that Patti has in the house. We also loved the gallery across the street. But mostly we just hung out at the beach and the house, which was very cozy and comfortable, nicely decorated and appointed and more spacious than it looked on the web site. The neighbors were very friendly and the weather was perfect. I had to leave early and after I left my sister took a day to go kayaking. Next time I would like to go to Cabbage Key, the island which was the basis for the Jimmy Buffet song, and perhaps do some fishing. It was the most restful and relaxing vacation I have ever had. In addition, I have multiple chemical sensitivity and had no problems, the house is clean and odor free.
Enjoy shelling, boating & observing the natural wildlife on the Island, Children love collecting fossilized sharks teeth, shells & sand dollars on the beach, The cottage location provides immediate access to the Gulf of Mexico for superior fishing year round, Fantastic sunrises & sunsets are an added bonus!, When you tire of 'paradise' - restaurants, shopping & boat charters are available nearby on the mainland, Transportation to and from the Island is provided by water-taxi services, Golf cart rentals are available on the Island for extra exploration

Recovering in iPhoto
Recovering in iPhoto
As your iPhoto library grows, you probably start thinking about, wow! I need to protect these images also. How I do that? Well, iPhoto doesn't have a lot of built in backup stuff. In fact, it doesn't really have anything practical to speak of. So you are kind of in a do-it-yourself situation here, and this is one of the differences between iPhoto and more advanced digital asset managers, such as Aperture and Lightroom. But I will show you basically how it works. I'm going to quit iPhoto first, because that's the first thing you have to do. And now this brings us to the desktop, and I have our Pictures folder open, and that's where the library lives for iPhoto. The iPhoto library is in your Pictures folder.
Now if you just double-click, all you are going to do is launch iPhoto again, because that's they way it's designed; it's actually a package. But if I right-click on it, and I do Show Package Contents, we can take a peek inside. Now I am going to warn yo...

One of the most common discussions I see amojng gamers recently is the supposed death of the Japanese gaming industry. Why does it seem so irrelevant to the majority of gamers these days? What happened to the originality, the spark that characterised many games coming out of Japan during the PS1 and PS2 eras?
The answers and factors influencing them might not be quite as straight forward as you think.
We discuss these at length in a recent episode of The Out-Cast.
Skip ahead to the 44minute mark if you want to skip what we've been up to and get straight into the meat of the discussion.
And let me know any thoughts or suggestions you might have - we are always open to discussing listener suggestions in future episodes!

WabiSabiBole's Profile
I've been working with clay off and on since I took my first ceramics class in college in the early 1980's. There is nothing quite like picking up a piece of clay and having it turn into something in my hands, sometimes it seems to make itself.
I spent many hours at Baltimore Clayworks (http://www.baltimoreclayworks.org) beginning as a student in 1987. I became part of the staff, working in the gallery, then in the ceramic supplies business (Clayworks Supplies- http://www.clayworkssupplies.com/) selling clay, materials and tools.
I have been involved with exhibits, workshops, classes, teaching, kiln building. I have experience with throwing, hand building, sculpture, raku, wood firing, electric and gas firing, and much more.
I drift away from clay now and then, but it always…

The design brief for this garden was to create an inviting entry with a woodland feel that would complement the home's earthy color scheme and thoughtful architectural details. Majestic Sequoia sempervirens 'Aptos Blue' (Aptos Blue Coastal Redwood), with its pendant deep blue-green branches, shields the expanded porch from the afternoon sun. Selected for its ability to look good in sun or shade, Carex divulsa (Berkeley sedge) makes a lush ground cover, weaving through the trees and along the new slate walk. In fall, muhlenbergia capillaris explodes with feathery pink plumes. The garden is irrigated with a water-efficient drip system.

Are you looking forward to eternal life in the digital afterlife?
Friday, 22 July, 2016
We may live forever more in a digital afterlife. It's a notion we hear a lot about, and wouldn't it be something to know, and interact with, our descendants living centuries in the future? But is it really possible? Could we upload our brains, so to speak, into some hard drive, and live, fully conscious, as a kind of digital avatar of our once corporeal selves?
You could have the same afterlife for yourself in any simulated environment you like. But even if that kind of technology is possible, and even if that digital entity thought of itself as existing in continuity with your previous self, would you really be the same person? As a neuroscientist, my interest lies mainly in a more practical question: is it even technically possible to duplicate yourself in a computer program? The short answer is: probably, but not for a while.

Not everybody's succeeding for the weekend, how to join them
Friday, 22 July, 2016
Since it's almost the weekend, I'm wondering what I can do to lower my game. As it happens, there is rather a lot. All I have to do is take a leaf or two from the book of an unsuccessful person. And if you can't make a success of your weekend, what can you make a success of?
Here are a few suggestions for stuffing up the weekend, based on what the unsuccessful do:
- They don't have a plan
- They let technology take over
- They don't enjoy themselves
- They sleep the entire time
- They laze around and regret it
If that's not enough, find more ideas here.

How much eye contact is too much eye contact?
Thursday, 21 July, 2016
3.3 seconds, that's the maximum amount of time you should make eye contact with someone you've just met, elsewise you run the risk of making them feel uncomfortable, or put off.
Eyes meeting can lead to moments of raw emotions and autonomic physiological responses. But any deviation of what is considered normal can signal a problem: Short eye contact may lead people to perceive someone as less confident and untrustworthy. Avoiding it altogether has been suggested to be a symptom of autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. A long gaze, on the other hand, can easily make both parties uncomfortable.

Gravity powered lamps, lighting up our off-grid communities
Thursday, 21 July, 2016
Flick the switch, and there be light. It's probably something we take so much for granted, that we don't even think about. For people living in off-grid communities though, such as in sub-Saharan Africa, lighting a home is far from simple, or cost-effective for that matter. And how long do you think you might tolerate living with a kerosene lamp?
Enter London based designer, Jim Reeves, and the GravityLight, a lamp that shines light for twenty-five minutes, thanks to a weight assisted power generator.

Is that a funeral for a crow, or is it a post mortem?
Thursday, 21 July, 2016
After a crow shuffles off this mortal coil, its friends and relatives can often be seen gathering about it, in a funeral like manner. While it may look like the corvids are holding some sort of memorial service, it's more likely they are trying to determine the cause of death, in the hope of avoiding the same fate themselves.
Calling to each other, gathering around, and paying special attention to a fallen comrade is common among the highly intelligent corvids, a group of birds that includes crows, jays, magpies, and ravens, says Kaeli Swift, a Ph.D student in environmental science at the University of Washington. But it doesn't necessarily mean the birds are mourning for their lost buddy. Rather, they're likely trying to find out if there's a threat where the death occurred, so they can avoid it in the future.

The smart streets of the city were made for walking, not driving
Wednesday, 20 July, 2016
Could it be so? Urban centres that are easier to walk around, or walkable, are more likely to be inhabited by people who are university educated, and well off?
That's not all: Education levels aren't just higher in walkable cities. GDP is, too. The gap between the highest and lowest urban metros by GDP in the study is a chasm of 49%, which Leinberger calls a "first and second world gap. This is serious stuff."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a phase change memory cell and to a manufacturing process thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
As is known, phase change memory (PCM) elements exploit the characteristics of materials which have the property of changing between two phases having distinct electrical characteristics. For example, these materials may change from an amorphous phase, which is disorderly, to a crystalline or polycrystalline phase, which is orderly, and the two phases are associated to considerably different resistivity.
At present, alloys of group VI of the periodic table, such as Te or Se, referred to as chalcogenides or chalcogenic materials, can advantageously be used in phase change cells. The chalcogenide that currently offers the most promise is formed by a Ge, Sb and Te alloy (Ge2Sb2Te5), which is currently widely used for storing information in overwritable disks.
In chalcogenides, the resistivity varies by two or more magnitude orders when the material passes from the amorphous phase (more resistive) to the polycrystalline phase (more conductive) and vice versa. The characteristics of chalcogenides in the two phases are shown in
Phase change may be obtained by locally increasing the temperature, as shown in
From the electrical standpoint, it is possible to reach both critical temperatures, namely the crystallization temperature and the melting point, by causing a current to flow through a resistive element which heats the chalcogenic material by the Joule effect.
The basic structure of a PCM element 1 which operates according to the principles described above is shown in
If an electric current having an appropriate value is caused to pass through the resistive element 2, it is possible to heat the phase change portion 4 selectively up to the crystallization temperature or to the melting temperature and to cause phase change. In particular, if a current I flows through a resistive element 2 having resistance R, the heat generated is equal to I2R.
The use of the PCM element of
All the known approaches are, however, disadvantageous due to the difficulty in finding solutions that meet present requirements as regards capacity for withstanding the operating currents and voltages, as well as functionality and compatibility with present CMOS technologies.
In particular, considerations of a technological and electrical nature impose the creation of a contact area of small dimensions, preferably 20 nm�20 nm, between the chalcogenic region and a resistive element. However, these dimensions are much smaller than those that can be obtained with current optical (UV) lithographic techniques, which scarcely reach 100 linear nm.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a phase change memory cell that includes a resistive element, including a first thin portion having a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction, and a memory region of a phase change material and including a second thin portion having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The resistive element and the memory region are in direct electrical contact at the first and second thin portions and define a contact area of sublithographic extension. The second thin portion is delimited laterally in the second direction by spacer portions of a first dielectric material, thereby defining inclined surfaces in a third direction, transverse to said first and second directions.
Another embodiment of the invention provides a process for manufacturing a phase change memory cell. The process includes forming a resistive element including a first thin portion having a first sublithographic dimension in a first direction; and forming a memory region of a phase change material and including a second thin portion having a second sublithographic dimension in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The first and second thin portions define a contact area of sublithographic extension. Forming a memory region includes forming a mold layer on top of the resistive element, forming a first lithographic opening in the mold layer, forming spacer portions in the first lithographic opening, the spacer portions defining a slit having the second sublithographic dimension; and depositing a phase change layer inside the slit.
For a better understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment thereof is now described, purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
The parent application teaches forming the contact area as an intersection of two thin portions extending transversely with respect to one another and each of a sublithographic size. In order to form the thin portions, deposition of layers is adopted instead of a lithographic process, given that deposition makes it possible to obtain very thin layers, i.e., having a thickness much smaller than the current minimum size that can be achieved using lithographic techniques.
For a better understanding of embodiments of the present invention, the manufacturing process of the parent patent application will now be described.
With reference to
Next, a first dielectric layer 18 is deposited and planarized; openings are formed in the first dielectric layer 18 above the base contact regions 13 and emitter regions 15, and the openings are filled with tungsten to form base contacts 19 b and emitter contacts 19 a. The base contacts 19 b are thus in direct electrical contact with the base contact regions 13, and the emitter contacts 19 a are in direct electrical contact with the emitter regions 15. Advantageously, the openings in the first dielectric layer 18 can be covered by a barrier layer, for example a Ti/TiN layer, before being filled with tungsten. In this way, the structure of

In practice, as shown in
In the process described above, forming the thin portion 38 a of the chalcogenic layer 38 entails numerous steps and is somewhat complex. Consequently, it is desirable to avail a simpler alternative process.
In addition, the dimensions of the contact area 45 depend upon the alignment tolerances between the mask used for forming the openings 21 and the mask used for removing part of the first delimiting layer 29 and for forming the vertical side 30 (
Furthermore, the thin portion 38 a crosses each cup-shaped region 22 in two points, thus doubling the total contact area between the thin portions 38 a and the cup-shaped regions 22, and consequently also increasing the programming current. In the case of a marked misalignment between the two above masks, just one contact area is even obtained which has dimensions far greater than the requirements. The presence of a double contact gives rise to functional problems, given that in this situation it would be impossible to know which of the two contact areas 45 first causes switching of the overlying thin portion 38 a (i.e., the phase change portion), nor would it be possible to be certain that both of the thin portions 38 a overlying the two contact areas will switch.
In the following description, parts that are the same as those previously described with reference to
The process according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises initial steps equal to those described above, up to deposition of the second dielectric layer 20 (
Then (
Next, using a minitrench mask, designated by E in
Following upon etching, part of the layers 48, 49 and 50 is removed, so as to form an opening 51 having a rectangular shape, corresponding to that of the minitrench mask E. The width of the opening 51 in the X direction is, for example, 160 nm. The opening 51 uncovers part of the dielectric material 23 of the two adjacent cells 5 and crosses each cup-shaped region 22 only once, as can be clearly seen from the superposition of the heater mask D and minitrench mask E in
Next, the stack of layers 41 is defined using a stack mask F (
The process continues with the steps described previously, which comprise deposition of the third dielectric layer 42, opening of the third dielectric layer 42 above the base contacts 19 b, formation of the top contacts 43, and formation of connection lines for connection to the base contacts 19 b and to the bit lines 41, so as to obtain the final structure shown in
The advantages of the process and structure described herein are illustrated hereinafter. First, the sequence of steps required for forming the thin portion 38 a is simplified, and the chalcogenic layer 38 adheres perfectly to the underlying layers and fills the opening 51 correctly, thanks to the inclination of the spacer region 55 a, as already mentioned previously.
Furthermore, the shape of the minitrench mask E makes it possible to obtain a single contact area 58 for each cup-shaped region 22, and hence for each cell 5, without requiring any additional masking steps.
The rectangular or ovalized shape of the cup-shaped region 22 reduces the spread in the dimensions of the contact area 58 also when its shape, instead of being rectangular as in the ideal case, is oval, as may be seen from a comparison between
Finally, it is clear that numerous modifications and variations may be made to the process and to the memory cell described and illustrated herein, all falling within the scope of the invention, as defined in the attached claims. For example, the sequence of steps required for forming the spacer region 55 a and of the strip 57 may vary. In particular, for forming the opening 51 it is possible to etch the adhesion layer 50 and the mold layer 49 alone, without removing the stop layer 48. Next, the spacer region 55 a is formed in the way described previously, by depositing a spacer layer and etching it anisotropically. Finally, the stop layer 48 is removed only where it is not covered by the spacer region 55 a, and in this way the strip 57 is uncovered.
In addition, according to a different embodiment, after forming the opening 51 (
According to a further embodiment, after depositing the adhesion layer 50 and before etching using the minitrench mask E, a further nitride layer having a thickness of 20-30 nm is deposited. Then, using the minitrench mask E, the further nitride layer, the adhesion layer 50, and the mold layer 49 are selectively removed, without the stop layer 48 being removed. The spacer layer 55 is deposited, and an etch back is performed for forming the spacer region 55 a. Next, a nitride etch is carried out, removing the horizontal portions of the further nitride layer above the adhesion layer 55, and the exposed portion of the stop layer 48. Then the other steps of depositing the chalcogenic layer 38, and so forth, follow. In this way, the further nitride layer protects the adhesion layer 50 from any possible contamination by the spacer layer 55.

High-Rise Living May Lower Cardiac Arrest Survival
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Jan. 18, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- The view from those upper floors may be breathtaking, but it might come with a risky cost: people living on higher floors appear less likely to survive cardiac arrest, a new study found.
In fact, above the third floor, your chances of surviving cardiac arrest get worse the higher up you live -- and above the 16th floor, survival is "negligible," according to the study authors.
The likely reason is simple. "It takes first responders longer to get to the patients who live on higher floors, so treatment is delayed," said lead researcher Ian Drennan, a paramedic with the York Region Paramedic Services in Canada.
When cardiac arrest occurs, patients have a better chance of surviving the sooner they can be defibrillated -- shocking the heart back to a normal rhythm. The longer it takes before defibrillation, the less likely the shock will be effective, Drennan said.
"The delay of responders getting to higher floors meant there were fewer patients with shockable rhythms, which may explain why they had decreased survival," he said.
Drennan said the findings aren't unique to Canada. "Anywhere there are high-rise buildings, there are always going to be delays getting to higher floors. The quicker you can get to people the better," he said.
The report was published Jan. 18 in CMAJ.
Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in someone who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease. It's not the same thing as a heart attack, which occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart suddenly becomes blocked.
In the study of more than 8,000 people who suffered a cardiac arrest in high-rise apartment buildings from 2007 to 2012 in Toronto, 3.8 percent survived until they could be discharged from the hospital, the researchers found.
Among the nearly 6,000 people living on the first or second floor, 4.2 percent survived, but only 2.6 percent of the nearly 2,000 people living above the third floor survived, the researchers said.

Ex-Sugababe's Legal Claim On Band Name
By Andre Paine
Former Sugababes member Mutya Buena has applied for ownership of the U.K. pop act's name, the BBC reports.
Buena was a founding member of the girl group who quit for a solo career in 2005. The current Sugababes line-up does not include any of the original members, which formed the group in 1998.
The BBC reports that Buena has applied to the European Trademarks Authority over the ownership of the name. Her request has been registered, but not yet approved. The claim was put forward by trademark and patent attorneys Kilburn and Strode LLP.
If successful, it lead to Buena owning the rights to use the Sugababes name on products, including CDs.
Keisha Buchanan, the last of the original members, departed last year prompting Buena to say the "Sugababes have ended because there are no original people remaining."
The act, which is signed to Island/Universal, releases new album "Sweet 7" on March 15.

Anisocoria, or unequal pupil sizes, is a common condition. The varied causes have implications ranging from life-threatening to completely benign, and a clinically guided history and examination is the first step in establishing a diagnosis.
Pupil size depends on the effects of the autonomic nervous system and the iris muscle, and numerous pathophysiological processes can cause anisocoria.
From the autonomic nerve standpoint, the parasympathetic system constricts the iris, while the anatomically distinct sympathetic channels dilate the iris. The sympathetic system begins in the hypothalamus, descends through the brain stem (including the lateral medulla) and into the cervical cord to synapse in the ciliospinal center of Budge-Waller at the C8-T1 level. The second-order neuron then exits the C8-T1 nerve root, travels over the lung apex, and ascends to the superior cervical ganglia with the carotid artery. The third-order neuron leaves the superior cervical ganglia to ascend as a plexus around the internal carotid artery through the cavernous sinus, where fibers destined for the pupil dilator and the Mueller muscle of the eyelid travel with the trigeminal nerve through the superior orbital fissure to their orbital targets. Fibers destined to modulate sweating of the face travel with the external carotid artery.
The parasympathetic fibers begin in the Edinger-Westphal subnucleus of cranial nerve III in the midbrain. Parasympathetic fibers travel with the oculomotor (cranial III) nerve, traverse the cavernous sinus, and enter the orbit via the superior orbital fissure to synapse in the ciliary ganglia. The short ciliary nerves then innervate the iris sphincter and muscles of accommodation.
United States
Anisocoria is common, although no overall prevalence statistics are available. The incidence and prevalence data for anisocoria depend on the specific pathophysiology and population. The presence of physiologic anisocoria has been estimated at 20% of the normal population, so some degree of pupil difference may be expected in at least 1 in 5 clinic patients.
Mortality and morbidity rates associated with anisocoria depend entirely upon the specific pathophysiology.
Several causes of anisocoria are life threatening, including Horner syndrome due to carotid dissection or third nerve palsy due to an aneurysm or uncal herniation.
Other causes of anisocoria are completely benign (eg, simple or physiologic anisocoria), although the unnecessary evaluation of these disorders may produce morbidity inadvertently.

The agency is obviously proud of this crap. Or else I'm not sure why they'd keep sending it in. In the future, they might want to at least correct their grammar. Grownups is one word when used as a noun, not two. You can also hyphenate it, "grown-ups." But it's not correct to use it as two separate words.
if these vampires are for growups, why do all of the ads use low-brow, teenage boy sex reference humor?
Simplcity is nice... But tits biting... is it supposed to refer to grown ups?... A bit easy I would say.

Salary cap considerations could force Habs GM Marc Bergevin to get some return before losing Weise this summer.
If you find yourself starting to feel good after losses in the hopes of getting Auston Matthews, well, you won't be alone.
Petry wasn't surprised to be traded at the deadline last year because he signed a one-year contract with the Oilers and made it clear that, frustrated by years of losing, he would exercise his right to test free agency.
They had the 22 players they wanted on the ice for the team photo, but they did not know which of their two goaltenders would start, which of their veterans would wear the captain's 'C' on his sweater, or exactly what the team would look like when the games begin for real later this month.

What type of telescope is best for beginners? Can I use my camera to take photographs through a telescope? How good are the new computerized telescope mounts? What charts, books, software and other references do I need? These questions are asked time and again by enthusiastic new amateurs as they take up recreational astronomy.
But accurate, objective and up-to-date information can be hard to find. Throughout the 1990s, the first edition of The Backyard Astronomer's Guide established itself as the indispensable reference to the equipment and techniques used by the modern recreational stargazer. Now, authors Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer have produced an expanded and completely updated edition that again sets the standard for accessible and reliable information on one of the world's most popular hobbies.
Dickinson and Dyer both full-time astronomy writers bring decades of experience to their task. They explain why telescopes often perform much differently from what the novice expects. They recommend the accessories that will enhance the observing experience and advise what not to buy until you become more familiar with your equipment. They name brands and sources and compare value so that you can be armed with the latest practical information when deciding on your next purchase. Sections on astrophotography, daytime and twilight observing, binocular observing and planetary and deep-sky observing round out this comprehensive guide to personal exploration of the universe. Dickinson and Dyer's elegant yet straightforward approach to a complex subject makes this book an invaluable resource for astronomers throughout North America.
With morethan 500 color photographs and illustrations, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide is also one of the most beautiful and user-friendly astronomy books ever produced.
About the author:
Terence Dickinson is the author of the best-selling guidebook NightWatch and 13 other books, among them The Universe and Beyond, Splendors of the Universe, Summer Stargazing and Exploring the Night Sky. He is also editor of the Canadian astronomy magazine SkyNews and is an astronomy commentator for Discovery Channel Canada.
Alan Dyer is program producer at the Calgary Science Centre Planetarium and a contributing editor to Sky & Telescope magazine. He is widely regarded as an authority on commercial telescopes, and his evaluations of astronomical equipment appear regularly in major North American astronomy magazines.
Editorial Reviews
The text builds though each successive chapter, describing today's plethora of binoculars, telescopes, mounts, eyepieces, and other accessories. We then move on to delve deeply into everything of interest in the sky, from the planets to deep-sky objects. The detailed yet accessible explanation of celestial mechanics should be required reading for everyone. The third part introduces digital astrophotography. Yes, digitalit starts out by stating that film is dead. This new section covers everything you need to get started taking pictures, including some useful parts of Adobe Photoshop. The Backyard Astronomer's Guide closes with a set of beautifully rendered charts of the Milky Way by Glenn LeDrew. Opposing pages display a color version and a labeled, black-on-white version plotted to magnitude 9. Dickinson and Dyer have brought their excellent guide further into the 21st century. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Read an Excerpt
INTRODUCTION A New Stargazer's Guidebook
There is something deeply compelling about the night sky. Those fragile, flickering points of light in the blackness beckon to the inquisitive mind. So it was in antiquity, and so it remains today. But only in the past decade have large numbers of people decided to delve into stargazing-recreational astronomy-as a leisure activity. Today, more than half a million people in North America call themselves amateur astronomers.
Not surprisingly, manufacturers have kept pace with the growth of the hobby, and there is now a bewildering array of telescopes and accessories to meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of backyard astronomers. This development has produced a gap in the reference material available to stargazers, a gap that this book attempts to bridge.
In our work as astronomy authors and communicators, we have encountered thousands of enthusiasts seeking tips on how to be backyard astronomers -- specifically, how to select the appropriate equipment, how to use it, how to avoid buying unnecessary gadgets and, most important, how to feel comfortable that they are using the equipment they have as well as they can.
The truth is, one can become a competent amateur astronomer with hardware no more sophisticated than binoculars combined with the appropriate reference material: this book, one or two star atlases, an annual astronomical almanac and as subscription to Astronomy or Sky & Telescope magazines. But most enthusiasts yearn to graduate to a telescope. Our main task in the following pages to act as your guides as you select and use the proper equipment and accessories for many enjoyable nights under the stars --in essence, this is a detail practical guide to getting the most out of the experience of night-sky watching.
In many respects, this book is a sequel to co-author Dickinson's NightWatch, which emphasizes preliminary material for the absolute beginner. NightWatch assumed no previous experience on the part of the reader. Here, we provide extensive reference material for enthusiasts who have decided that amateur astronomy is an activity worth pursuing, even though they may not yet own a telescope.
The best plan with any leisure activity is to become knowledgeable about the equipment before buy it. We provide that information with specific references to brands and items available on today's market. It is easy to be romanced by the technology and by glitzy high-tech advertising; we flag the unnecessary and the frivolous.
No single book, obviously, can do it all, and this one is no exception. However, before we started work on this project, we took a close look at the amateur-astronomy guidebooks already available. We saw certain subjects covered over and over again (the same constellation-by-constellation observing lists, for example), while some aspects of the hobby were consistently overlooked. With this in mind, we have concentrated on the areas we feel have been traditionally neglected or have only lately emerged as topics of interest.
In recent years, for instance, the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope has become the most popular type of instrument for amateur astronomy, yet many references offer only one or two pages on the subject. In this book, we devote half of one chapter and parts of others to the Schmidt-Cassegrain. We detected a need for candor in discussions of commercial astronomy equipment, so we have tried to be as specific as possible about brand names, reporting what we do and don't like and why.
Prices of telescopes and other equipment quoted throughout are in 1993 U.S. dollars and are intended to serve as rough guides only. Prices in Canadian dollars are 25 to 40 percent higher, depending on current exchange rates and sales taxes.
With this book, we also wanted to dispel the misperception that one must be a computer whiz with a degree in astrophysics to use a telescope properly or to appreciate fully the wonders of the universe. Physics and computers are unnecessary baggage for personal exploration of the cosmos, and we have deliberately avoided extensive discussions of any such subjects. However, we do offer suggestions and Appendixes for anyone interested in topics that we chose not to include, such as telescope making.
Finally, a few words about the illustrations. All the celestial photographs reproduced in this book were taken by amateur astronomers. Most of the images have never been published before. Some of the photographs rival those taken with much larger telescopes at professional observatories, attesting to the skill and dedication of modern amateur astrophotographers. But beyond the technical achievements is the astonishing beauty that modern cameras, films and telescopes can capture. Many readers undoubtedly will be stirred by these pictures to attempt celestial photography for themselves. We devote three chapters to astrophotography, the major sub-hobby within recreational astronomy. We specifically attempted to display new pictures of familiar objects as well as state-of-the-art astrophotography. Other illustrations are intended to complement the main text. In most instances, the caption material is not contained within the main text and should be considered supplementary information.
For many enthusiasts, the canopy of stars is almost tranquilizing. One member of a husband-and-wife team described it thus: "Astronomy is one of the few hobbies that lets you get completely away from it all. It opens your mind, everyday problems fade, and you don't even notice the time -- or the cold. One night, we tape-recorded our viewing session, then replayed it the next day and heard ourselves saying over and over, 'Oh, wow! Look at that,' as we took turns at the telescope. It was really beautiful."
Whatever their passion, all amateur astronomers agree that a major threshold in the hobby is the magical night when the sky ceases to be a trackless maze of glittering points and begins to transform itself in the mind of the observer into the real universe of planets, stars, galaxies and nebulas with names, distances, dimensions and a powerful aura of mystery. Once that happens, there is no turning back. The night sky becomes an infinite wonderland waiting to be explored.

Anyone interested in what goes on 'out there' -- and that includes most of us -- should read 'Backyard Astronomer's Guide' before plunking down any money on binoculars, telescopes, eyepieces, or surplus Saturn V rockets. The proud papa of a new telescope, I had about 50 questions that were apparently unanswerable, such as, How much magnification can I get with my 'scope, and how do I increase the optical power without degrading the image quality; Why do stars look twinkly and fuzzy, instead of the prescribed pinpoint of light; How do you decide on a good set of binoculars; and, how do I test and fine-tune the optics of my telescope? And then I found this book. 'Backyard' answers all those questions and more. Messieurs Dickinson and Dyer apparently felt that there were enough star guides and atlases; what was needed was something that would tell people in practical terms how to choose, use and care for the equipment necessary to see all that stuff out there. That's a huge order, and it would have been easy to become bogged down in details that would have rendered the book obsolete before it even went to press. Astro-technology is like everything else, moving at almost the speed of light. But by focusing on the core principles and basics, while periodically revising and updating hardware specs and models, the authors have dodged the technology trap and created a book that will remain a valuable guide for many years to come. The book immediately saved me a wad of cash: I had been thinking about buying a good zoom eyepiece. 'Backyard' states emphatically that the words 'good' and 'zoom eyepiece' don't go together. 'Nuff said. With its comparative tables on everything from magnitude scale to eyepieces and filters, its richly detailed explanations of how equipment works and how to work it, and its huge number of photos, charts and drawings, 'The Backyard Astronomer's Guide' is truly the Boy Scout Handbook of amateur astronomy. It is one of my most prized books on astronomy.
Great for all types of observing of the night sky. A much more advanced version of nightwatch. I use it when I am out with my 8 inch telescope.
I learned a lot from this book! It's full of info that's written in an easily understood fashion. I benefitted greatly from the section on setting circles, R.A. and declination and other confusing topics novice astronomers face. It's worth the dough, folks.
